Potential fix for https://github.com/potty/react-anchorme/security/code-scanning/2

To fix the problem, explicitly declare a permissions block and restrict the GITHUB_TOKEN to the least privilege needed. This workflow only checks out code and runs local commands; it does not appear to need any write permissions. The minimal safe configuration is contents: read at the workflow level, which will apply to all jobs unless overridden.

The single best fix without changing existing functionality is:

  • Add a permissions section near the top of .github/workflows/tests.yml, alongside name and on, setting contents: read.
  • No other steps or behavior need to change, because read access is sufficient for actions/checkout and for the job’s commands (pnpm install, lint:check, test, build).

Concretely:

  • Edit .github/workflows/tests.yml.
  • Insert the permissions block after the name: Tests line (line 1) and before the on: block (line 3).
  • No imports or additional definitions are required in a YAML workflow file.
